I absolutely agree, which is why the Cap'n Proto compiler is written in Haskell. :D


Ha, nice! Sorry about that--you caught me skimming the navigation bar and making/projecting assumptions. :-)


Now that does put me off from contributing...

(Not a criticism, just a reference to the GP.)


Aww. Seriously, though, it's pretty easy to write a code generator without understanding Haskell, and most of the work ends up being in the target language.

In the long run I'd like to do something like I did with protoc where you can write plugins in any language, but... more important priorities right now.


What about using Go?


What would be the benefit of Go over Haskell in this case?
